Rumor: Things Not Left Unsaid 3 - Flyers Rumors and Media Mentions: Never Ending Circles

I'm not a Byram fan either, but this kind of framing is why you get called a homer. They've both been poor everywhere. A couple of games is utterly meaningless.

Didn't say Drysdale is good, said I want to see more. He's flashed enough to be worth an extended look, given Shaw's track record of redeeming lost causes.

Bryam has played a lot of minutes in Buffalo, after 20 minutes a game last season.

Both have upside, both are ??? whether they ever approach it.
Physically, Byram is bigger and more durable, both are fast.
Brains? Work ethic?

My brothers in Christ, why are we entertaining a Cozens trade like it wasn't speculated by a guy named Ant on Twitter? As we know, all Twitter ants are fools

This is the dumbest ant of them all. Let us not forget our roots

Not holding my breath for trades before the TDL, they're just really rare.
Especially if the Flyers are selling and not making a "my disappointment for your disappointment" kind of deal.

What will be interesting to see is if they are selling even if they're "in the playoffs" at the TDL, like last season. Right now the two last slots in the East are up for grabs:
Tor, FLA, Wash, NJ, CAR, TB are locks, barring a second half collapse
Boston .547, Ottawa .533, Rangers .517, Flyers .516, Pens .484, Isles .484, CBJ .468, Det .467

If they're serious about building a top 8 team, then finishing in the last PO spot shouldn't keep them from making moves to add additional assets.

They are more rare than trades at the deadline, but like, not that rare. Teams make trades before the deadline all the time, it's not difficult.

Lindholm was traded last January, and Zadorov that November. Hell, the Flyers traded Gauthier almost exactly a year ago.

It’s been a year when teams with great expectations need to make moves in order to possibly fulfill them. For these teams, every day that goes by is one that they can’t retrieve. The can’t afford to see if it works out until the TDL.

Quinton Byfield is the dream.

Morgan Frost is the reality.

Every time Drysdale comes back from an injury there are 2-4 games of "It appears he has figured it all out!" and then his meat-husk begins to desiccate. The marinade dries out. He stops being Wetsdale, and resumes life as Drysdale.
